about

Celebrating the joys of getting out and about in the wilderness.

lyrics

I'm happy, so happy
Got my boots on my feet
And a rucksack to put my map in
All these goodies I've been packing
Well it may seem a lot
But when walking I do like snackin'

I've got packets of crisps and a few sausage rolls
Sweeties and buns just to fill little holes
I'm out the door, I'm energised and free

I'm gonna walk those country miles
Cross those fields and stiles
Hike those peaks
And down the valley sides
'Cause when I leave these streets behind
It does good things to my mind
Invigorates my soul
Rain or shine

Ben Nevis, Helvellyn
When I get to the top
I take selfies that I look real well in
The sun glowing, a hot lemon
Or I'm swallowed in cloud
Stumbling round like I'm lost in heaven

I could be flapping my arms just to beat off the flies
Basted in sun cream, a chicken surprise
Or wrapped up like a pass-the-parcel prize

I'm gonna walk those country miles
Cross those fields and stiles
Hike those peaks
And down the valley sides
'Cause when I leave these streets behind
It does good things to my mind
Invigorates my soul
Rain or shine

Chapped lips
Sore hips
But it's all part of the fun
Great views
No loos
Just use sleeves when noses run
Silence
Aaah! Electric fence
If you've got two legs and the energy
And you can pull yourself away from the bloomin' TV
Well you just might find there's better things to see

Get out and walk those country miles
Cross those fields and stiles
Hike those peaks
And down the valley sides
'Cause when you leave these streets behind
It does good things to your mind
Invigorates your soul
Rain or shine
Invigorates your soul
Rain or shine
Invigorates your soul
Rain or shine
